Martha & Marley Spoon: Grill with Martha
It’s time to start thinking about summer entertaining.
Last week, to celebrate the beautiful warm weather, we hosted a special Martha & Marley Spoon Grilling event at our New York City headquarters. Nearly 50 lifestyle editors and influencers, and members of the press, attended the gathering. We provided lots of grilling ideas, tips and a special vinaigrette station where guests could make their own healthy, wholesome and flavorful salad dressing. We served a selection of skewers and kebabs - all available from our Martha & Marley Spoon meal kit menu. And, the grilling tools, platters, bowls and accessories are from my collection exclusively at Macy's. Plus, everyone enjoyed wine from our new Martha Stewart Wine Co. It was a wonderful time for all, and a great way to welcome the summer season.
Here are some photos.

- We also served Japanese-Style Chicken Skewers, also available on the web site. These include Yakitori, meaning “grilled chicken,” cooked over high heat and brushed with a salty and slightly sweet sauce. They are so delicious.

- Our third skewer option for the event was steak kababs. This recipe was adapted from my show, “Martha Stewart’s Cooking School” on PBS, which highlights the cuisine of the Arabian Gulf. I love these kebabs – so great for any summer meal. (Photo by Laura Manzano) http://www.pbs.org/food/shows/martha-stewarts-cooking-school/
